Hello,

Miqo'te eyes don't look in the same direction. The left eye is good, but the right one isn't. If you look at the character from the front, the two main reflection points should be symmetrical, but with Miqo'te, that's not the case:





I'm not very good with Photoshop, but I've tried to show what it is supposed to be (top) and what we have (bottom):



To exaggerate it a little, I have added some "cylinders" to show where the eyes are looking:





Thank you for your time, and please don't hesitate to let me know if you need any additional information.

Best regards.

I’ve noticed this myself. There seems to be a lot of problems with eye reflections. Reflecting very differently in each eye as well as being dulled by a strange wash of greyness over the eyes as well as the heavy underlid shadows.

[Cerbolt]

Is it just moon cats, or are sun cats also affected?

Sun cats too, but it is more noticeable on moon ones because of their round eyes.

[AdriTaiyo]

I think this is normal and natural to have different reflections in each eye, since the position of each is different and it may vary, eyes are positioned symmetricaly on the face and they hitter the same and at same time. Also the shadow in each may vary thanks to the nose and postion of each, not both are at same place.

Sure, but here the issue isn't reflection, but eye position. The main reflection points are linked to the camera position and are supposed to be symmetrical if the camera is in front of the character. On the other races, they are symmetrical, but not on Miqo'te. It's just a clue to show that the two eyes aren't looking in the same direction.

In other words, the main reflection points are correct, but the eye direction isn't. ^^

[AdriTaiyo]

The taller you are, the bigger is the head and then all it cames with, yes, nose, mouth, etc, so the separation btw eyes is also bigger, auras has a little head since their height is not as big as miqo'te's highest height, and as with it cames that the light, not with your camera, but in general is placed at a place that differs btw each eye, so with that, the reflections...

Here are some real-life examples of light reflections on cat eyes:




Do you see how no matter what height or angle the picture is taken at, the catchlight does not change its "source angle" from one eye to the other?

The old graphics' catchlights didn't have this problem. Here is an example from a screenshot I took in the past:


I can't know for certain what the cause of this new catchlight off-balance is, but my first guess is that when they mapped where catchlights would show on eyeballs, they didn't account for having to space them farther for the much larger eyes of Miqo'te.
